CAMP FACILITIES: Camp Highlander first opened its gates in 1957 and we’ve never looked back. That’s over six decades worth of life-changing summers! We have 34 beautiful cabins sprinkled out across Old Forge Mountain. The cabins are located in defined girls camp and boys camp areas of camp. Each cabin is equipped with two sinks, two toilets and two showers.

From opening day to final farewells, our campers enjoy so many exciting activities with their cabin unit that it’s hard for them to choose a favorite. Whether they are playing soccer on the land sports field, conquering the climbing wall, tubing down the Mills River, trying their hand at flint-knapping, or performing on stage during Highlander’s famous Evening Programs, our campers learn to accomplish their goals, discover new talents and, perhaps most importantly, work as a team – all while exploring the spectacular mountains of Western North Carolina.

As a cabin unit, campers participate in many adventures together both on and off-camp. Our cabin unit structure helps each camper feel comfortable enough to step outside their comfort zone and try new things. With their cabin mates and counselors by their side every step of the way, campers meet each challenge and triumph with unbridled encouragement, support and love. Our goal is that each camper would discover just how courageous they can be while enjoying a journey filled with personal achievements and unforgettable memories.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: At Camp Highlander, we believe God has instilled in each one of us a desire to love and be loved. This is the motivation behind our mission — we love because God first loved us.

Through this love, we seek to build boys and girls of courage, honesty, integrity and faith, and to help them become all that God intends them to be. In all we do, from the social structure of camp to our programming, from opening day to closing day, we seek to uphold, promote, teach and exemplify these four core values.

Courage: Dare to be Brave
Courage is found within you and is realized through the support and love of those around you. Dare to be brave. Try new things. Stand by your friends.

Honesty: Speak Truth in Love
Be yourself. Honesty builds trust. Trust is the foundation of our family. Be kind to others; honesty is shown in our actions, not just our words. Speak truth in love to your neighbor.

Integrity: Respect Yourself, Others and Nature
Be strong. Integrity builds confidence. Lead by example. Win with integrity. Lose with integrity. Live a life of moral conviction, worthy of modeling.

Faith: Seek Truth and Believe
Never stop dreaming. Faith is the ability to receive, find and make meaning in our lives. Faith is being certain of what is not seen and sure of what we hope for.

Parents can choose an 8 day experience (Kick Off Camp), 13 days (Sessions A or B) or 16 days (Session C). We also have Family Camp options to help children acclimate to the idea of camp.

CAMP FACILITIES: Hosted at the real Alpha School Charlotte campus: the same classrooms, labs, and common spaces Alpha School students use during the regular academic year. Purpose-built for personalized AI-powered learning and hands-on workshops.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Alpha Summer in Charlotte is one week inside the real Alpha School. The fastest way to know if Alpha is the school for your family. Grades K-8, running six consecutive weeks from June 15 through July 24, 2026.

Mornings are personalized, AI-powered academics at exactly your child's level. Two hours of math and reading, mastery-based and adaptive, done by lunch. Alpha uses adaptive AI apps (not chatbots) to meet each student where they are, adjusting in real time. Alpha classes rank nationally in the top 2%, all with just two hours of academics a day.

Afternoons belong to life skills workshops. Depending on age, your child could be publishing a hardcover book with AI, building and training their own AI chatbot, launching a real mobile app, or leading a startup pitch on stage. Each week features two workshops across three dimensions: personal grit, teamwork, and entrepreneurship.

Friday is the showcase. You go home with three deliverables: an NWEA MAP report showing where your child stands nationally in math and reading, a student profile written by their guide based on the week's observations, and a personalized academic plan projecting where your child could go next.

The guide's job is to hold each child to high standards, support them through challenges, and make sure they love coming to school every single day. By Friday, your child's guide will truly know them: their goals, their motivations, how they handle adversity, and what makes them come alive.

Every family is paired with a Dean of Parents, a dedicated point of contact whose only job is to make sure your family has everything you need.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Ridgecrest Summer Camps: Impacting lives for God’s glory through discipleship and adventure. Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of NC, our camps are designed for individual attention, maximum fun, and the safety of each child. We facilitate camper growth by offering a Christian camp program that has been around for 130 combined years. Camp Ridgecrest for Boys and Camp Crestridge for Girls each offer 25+ activities taught by solid Christian role models. Our staff are highly trained, committed believers with a heart for children/youth ministry. Both camps are accredited by the American Camp Association and Christian Camp and Conference Association. Join us for an unforgettable experience of fun encompassing physical, mental, social, and spiritual growth.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Available to 17 year olds at Camp Ridgecrest for Boys. The SALT Program is for former campers or those new to camp who wish to be part of camp life, but more importantly seek to develop leadership, service, and discipleship abilities. SALT participants live together under the supervision of a director who is typically upperclassmen in college or a college graduate. Spaces are limited to 7-10 per session. Sessions last 4 weeks. The cost of the program is $800 (a quarter of what it would cost as a camper). This money goes back into the SALT program to pay for their trips, entertainment and basic needs in order to increase the quality of their time and training while at camp. The SALT program has three main components: service, discipleship, and fellowship. The camp administration sees this as a vital part of developing the long-term leadership of Camp Ridgecrest and beyond. SALT positions are typically given by Christmas.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Limited Scholarships are available. E-mail rscamps[AT]ridgecrestcamps.com to receive a Scholarship Application.

Stay together in a cabin with your own restrooms, and enjoy a weekend in the mountains.

Family Camp will take place over Labor Day Weekend, August 31-September 3.

YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: We are creating a chance for you to share the Camp Ridgecrest experience with your son. Each summer at camp, your boy creates life changing memories and moments that help shape him into a Godly young man. We believe that it is important to provide dads with an opportunity to join your sons in this journey that can’t be replicated anywhere else.

Join us as we let "boys-be-boys" by playing hard, creating relationships, and experiencing God’s love in the middle of His creation. Dads, let us help set you up as the hero in your son’s life. Build your relationship through shared experiences that can only happen here.

Imagine you and your son Blobbing together, going off the zip line, down the slide, through the mud pit, up the climbing wall, around the campfire, down the trail, and in the cabin. Imagine playing Sockwar on the same team, throwing water balloons, going fishing, shooting a rifle or a bow and arrow. Imagine praying together, asking questions and actually getting answers.

CAMP FACILITIES: We have lodging for up to 180 people, a full-service cafeteria, swimming pool, lake for boating, fishing pond, hiking trails, full-size gym, game room, and multiple indoor and outdoor meeting spaces.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Our Summer Camp programs are designed as one-week residential camps for boys and girls ages 7-15. We offer six different weeks of camp, but it’s the same program, and all ages can come each week. The campers come to camp on Sunday afternoon and stay until Friday evening. They are assigned to a cabin group based on their age. Each cabin group will have 6-8 campers and one summer staff member called a Cabin Director. The Cabin Director stays in the cabin with the campers and provides leadership and supervision for that cabin group throughout the week.

Activities offered at our camp include hiking, swimming, boating, sports, crafts, games, teambuilding activities, rock climbing wall, and more. Additionally, older campers will have the opportunity to do our high ropes course, and younger campers will have a chance to visit a petting farm neighboring the camp.

Safety of our campers is top priority. We have trained lifeguards on duty for all waterfront activities, and all campers are required to wear life jackets while boating. During swim times, campers must remain in the shallow end of the pool unless they can demonstrate swimming proficiency by passing a swim test administered by the lifeguards.

Our Cabin Directors are hired through a diligent screening process. All Cabin Directors must complete a thorough job application and interview. We check several references and run a national criminal background history check on each applicant. Once hired, they undergo extensive, week-long training including certification in First Aid and CPR before they are put in charge of a group of campers.

It is our aim at South Mountain Christian Camp to nurture the faith of each of our campers. We do this through nightly chapel services which use creative teaching methods like skits, object lessons, and activities to teach campers what it means to have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Additionally, each cabin group will have a short Bible devotional time each morning while they are at camp.

At the end of the week, we have a baptism service for any camper who has accepted Christ as Lord and Savior of their lives and wishes to participate in the baptism service here. We never try to talk a camper into being baptized, and we make every effort to check with parents before allowing a camper to do so. However, when we are unable to reach parents by phone, we allow campers to use their best discretion when considering how their parents would feel about them being baptized at camp. For this reason, parents are encouraged to discuss this topic with campers prior to their week of camp so that they can understand and respect the parents' wishes.

CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS OR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE: Financial Assistance program available for any in need.

Our staff is, comprised of the best children's chess instructors in North America! The USA Chess camps are uniquely qualified to cater to the needs of the advanced scholastic player as well as the true beginner. USA Chess hit its first milestone in the summer of 2000 producing the largest chess camp ever held in the United States, with more than 250 students enrolled. What was most surprising, however, was the amount of absolute beginners in attendance - more than 50% of the total enrollment was just starting to play chess. This realization led to the national rollout tour of 100 camps in more than 70 cities. The annual tours have been immensely successful with several thousand campers attending this year alone.

USA Chess thrives on providing a structured environment that is extremely conducive to learning chess. We handpick the best children's chess instructors from all over the United States and bring them to each camp. We believe our team is most effective in teaching chess to children of all ages and levels. The exceptional organization and ever-fun curriculum has fueled much interest from scholastic players and coaches from around the country, prompting them to request USA Chess camps in their areas.

At the same summer camp locations, we also offer the immensely popular Gamebuilder Video Game Creation Camps, The Active Learning Computer Animation Programs, and other Computer Enrichment Programs such as Modding, Networking and Hosting with Minecraft. We now offer seven unique programs in all.

At these camps, children are assigned a computer for the week; they spend the week learning to create their own one-of- a- kind video games in our Gamebuilder Camps, Animation Projects in our Animation Camps, also Modding, Networking and Hosting with Minecraft.

The other is in Dubois Wyoming, where we have similar amenities as above except, this base camp is a working horse ranch!

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Philosophy: SOAR believes all individuals identified with learning disabilities (LD) and attention deficit disorder (ADHD) possess inherent talents and gifts. These abilities can mean incredible success in adulthood once these students negotiate the challenging obstacles of childhood, adolescence, and a traditional education system, usually unable to respond to individual learning styles.

SOAR's programs are designed to allow students the opportunity to increase their independence while away from home. Independence is gained through self-motivation and life skills instruction. With this in mind, we involve our students in many decision making processes, such as setting individual goals, developing group guidelines, as well as trip and meal planning.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Founded in 2014 by Austin parents Allan and Heather Staker, Brain Chase is the product of his filmmaking/tech background and her online education expertise. They are both Harvard-educated and their 5 children were the inspiration behind the creation of this revolutionary new summer program

Brain Chase is a 6-week summer learning challenge disguised as a massive global treasure hunt for 2nd−8th graders. A golden globe has been buried somewhere on earth – and it contains the key to a safe deposit box holding a $10,000 college scholarship fund. Participants who complete an hour of online summer learning activities each day will unlock secret animated webisodes that hold the clues to the globe’s whereabouts. Guess the treasure’s location first, and you’ll be the one on a plane to dig it up.

Enrollment is limited to the first 5,000 entrants.
Kickoff is June 30. Last registration July 18.
